• You are employed in Thailand. If you can show that you have been employed for a long period of time with a company or that you have a good permanent job in the formal sector then it is much easier to obtain the tourist visa as they know that you will return to Thailand.

• Savings in the bank is also another option as it shows that you are not going to Australia to work and that you are able to take care of yourself while in Australia.

• Owning property or a car is also a plus as again it will show that you will return as you have assets and property in Thailand which you will not abandon.

• Having dependents in Thailand is another way of showing ties to Thailand. If you have children or married then this is also a good way of showing your ties to Thailand and that you will return to the country.
